Description
This strike sends a Network Time Protocol(NTP) Kiss-o'-Death (KoD) Packet with the poll interval set higher than the defined maximum.
Kiss-o'-Death packets are used by NTP servers to rate-limit ntp client requests that query too frequently.
By sending a KoD packet with a larger poll value and a spoofed source IP address for any pre-configured NTP servers, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could disable NTP on a targeted system.
